Elementary Student Writes Bomb Threat, Draws Swastikas On Wall

HOLIDAY, FL -- A 12-year-old student was arrested at Paul R. Smith Middle School last week after Pasco County Sheriff's deputies said he wrote a bomb threat on a bathroom wall surrounded by Nazi swastika symbols.

Deputies say on May 22 around 11:30 a.m., the boy told several students what he had done. In turn, the students reported it to school officials. When questioned, the boy said he did it to scare the other students.

The boy was charged with one count of making a false report about planting a bomb and taken to the Pasco County Juvenile Assessment Center.
